How Many Scoville Units Are Takis Chips?
Last updated
Ever bitten into a Takis chip and felt your mouth light up like a firework? If so, you might’ve wondered just how spicy those little rolled tortillas are. Let’s dive into the world of Takis and their spiciness.
So, when we talk about spicy, what’s the measure? The spiciness of foods, including our beloved Takis, is often measured in Scoville Heat Units (SHU). But how spicy are Takis in terms of Scoville units?
Spicing Up the Details
Takis are known for their bold flavors and intense spiciness. However, accurately pinning down the Scoville rating for Takis can be a bit tricky, as it varies between flavors and isn’t officially published by Barcel USA, the makers of Takis. Despite this, some spicy snack aficionados estimate that Takis could range from 30,000 to 50,000 SHU, depending on the flavor.
This range puts Takis up there with some of the more moderately spicy chili peppers. It’s important to remember, though, that everyone’s tolerance to spice varies, so what might seem like a fiery challenge to one person could be just the right amount of kick for another.
